Hi Terry.

I also use Bankinter and have recieved a letter, where I have to pay the bank 30 euros for the work with making a "Certificate of Non-Residence" which is required by law. If I don't have this certificate my account will be closed. Twice this year my access to Bankinter on the internet was closed without warning. The bank opened the access when I complained about it. Now I will pay to have this certificate next time I visit the bank. We only have to make this payment one time.

This is not only happening in Spain. In Denmark you have to verify your identity if you have a bankaccount and live in another country (new rule this year). Only you don't have to pay for the registration.

If you eventually are a resident in Spain you can proof this to the bank. Talk with the bank.
